Who was the first modern president known to hire burglars to destroy his opponent? The sainted John F. Kennedy. We are, arguably, still living with the consequences.

love the story's last graf. "kennedy's little-known dirty trick". no mention as to WHY it's "little-known", of course...

I love the line: '...they "approached campaign dirty tricks with a roguish relish" that "overcame the critical faculties of many reporters." '

My how things have changed.

I wish the Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes, Barry Pepper, et al. movie would be shown uncut. So many good lines left on the floor:

JFK: "I think I'd go crazy if I couldn't get some strange ass a few times a week."

Pure gold.
